I am not advocating for speeding, and I am not advocating for stupid maneuvers. I am advocating for a modicum of driving skills, which includes the ability to drive faster than 12 mph. Those that cannot keep up with cart traffic on a MMP should pull over and let the 17 carts piled up behind them pass. Those that tool along at 12 but then speed up to 20+ when someone tries to pass should just be shot on the spot. BTW, in case those people don't know it, Florida law prohibits a vehicle that is being overtaken from speeding up to prevent it. This applies to cars and carts. Your responsibility when getting passed is simply to maintain the same speed you were going until you have been completely passed. Then it is OK for you to wake up.

Making this argument in court would be both the “root cause” AND the “immediate causal factor” of a judge’s hysterical laughter 😂
